Trail Enma.
The trail where Markov escapists face their worst fears on the way to truth.
I crumple up the paper of rules and explanations and shove it in my pocket.
Me, Isabelle, Scarlet and Meeko were standing in front of the entrance to Trail Enma, taking one step would begin the trail.
A point of no return.
I look at each of my friends, we've gone so far, but in so little time.
It felt like I'd known them for years, but in reality we only met a week ago out of pure coincidence and luck. It was weird to think about.
Scarlet was looking at the route ahead, her expression struggling as her usual smile fails to stay on her face. I knew how anxious she felt inside; her fist was clenched tight in attempt to hide her shaky figure.
Meeko was comforting and exchanging small smiles with everyone, despite his own anxious movements and breathing.
Isabelle was looking up at the sky, taking in the situation. Smiling and sighing, she then catches eye contact with me.
"You alright, Mika?" She asked, obviously hiding her nervousness like the rest, "You think we can beat this thing?"
"I don't know..." I sigh, "I mean, if we don't try, we'll never get to the end, right?"
